Annette & Co. Reviews

Ive worked with Laura on the profit first scheme for over a year now. I can safely say it's one of the best things I've done for my business.

Annette was my accountant for way too many years. Really bad service, response times were dismal, I had to always chase up, begged for financial advice which I never received, never received any help for setting up Xero. I could go on and on. I am so glad I finally moved on to another accountant who is SO organised. Definitely do not recommend. UPDATE: I thanked you when I terminated our agreement because that's what you do when you part ways and the issues were raised in my many many emails over the years. I am surprised that you are surprised of this review. Finally, the reason I left this review now after such a long time is because you sent me an invitation to leave a review (probably an automated email).

Annette & co have been really good. they are clearly a well run and well organised accountancy firm, one that i hope to be with for some time. The profit first aspect was what drew me in, and working with Laura has been good as a kind of finance business coach aspect too.

I have nothing but good things to say about Annette and her team. In the past 9 months of working together they've been incredibly supportive and have made the transition from employment to self-employment much easier than if I was going it alone. Highly recommend.

More than an accountant, Annette provides an invaluable FD role to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Not your average accountant! Annette Ferguson provides more than accounting services, she also provides support and advice. Annette has helped me navigate and understand the complexities of my growing businesses. In addition Annette is highly professional, approachable and compassionate. Not my usual experience of accountants. I can highly recommend Annette & Co to any other small business owners/ entrepreneurs.

We have been working with Annette & Co for over a year and they provide an exceptional accountancy and bookkeeping service. Alongside the day to day accounting tasks, Annette is working with us on our financial growth strategy and providing expert advice. We can highly recommend Annette and her team.

I have had a few accountants, but none have been as good as Annette and Co. They have taken out all the worry and work that comes with accounting. Laura is the best, I am constantly changing my mind about goals and she adapts my planning. Highly recommend

I've been through a lot of accountants and the best I can say about them is that they kept me out of jail. Annette & Co are a completely different kind of firm. They help me plan ahead - no really! I've gone from anxiety about tax and setting targets to confidence and clarity. I actually have money. They deliver on the profit first promise. If you are planning a move to a new accountant then this is a move your future self will say 'well done' to.

absolute legend!! Annette has changed the way i look at my accounts by helping me understand the basics and has the patients to explain things to me in layman's terms until i understand it properly. I now have a much better grasp of the numbers in my business and have implemented profit first so i know exactly where all the money in the business belongs. this is exactly what i have been looking for from my account 10/10

I am a very busy entrepreneur with multiple businesses - I do not have time to write reviews. I also do not like to write negative reviews for independent businesses. However on this occasion I feel so let down I would actually be doing a disservice to other business owners by not warning them away from Annette and Co. In the early days I recommended her to other business owners who have since also come to similar conclusions to me, honestly I'm embarrassed that I even recommended her. If you dont want to read the full review, the summary is that in my opinion all the value is in the free stuff (essentially her marketing), the strategic business advice given in my opinion is bad/ dangerous and the quality of work done is sub standard. I have recently left after ~18mo with Annette and co and my new accountant has found very serious errors which cost my LLP over £15,000. I will also be complaining to Profit First Professionals. As an indication of the complete lack of organisation, despite leaving 3 months ago I am still getting emails inviting me to book my weekly call with Annette and even got an automated request to leave this review. Oops. She also charged me a direct debit after I left and I am still awaiting the refund that was promised. Major breaches of trust occurred and forget about a complaints procedure if you’re going to be a customer. My review is too long for the char limit so I have attached it as images for those who care to read about my experience.

Fantastic accountants, super communicative, on top of everything, friendly, and have totally transformed the way I feel about financial planning/cash flow management. Would not hesitate to recommend…and frequently do!

Great FD to small business owners!

Responsive and excellent service. Really like to support us in thinking through how we can scale the business.

Excellent service, caring, compassionate and they make numbers and accounting feel fun :).

Annette & Co is not your ordinary accounting firm. They really care and get to know your business and what it needs. They've enabled me to understand my cashflow and implement Profit First principles which empowered me deeply in the way I run my biz. Highly recommended!
